ISLAMABAD, Dec 13 Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi has said that Pakistan was not involved in Mumbai terror attacks.

However, Islamabad has substantial evidence to prove India's involvement in terror activities in the country.

In an interview with an Arab television, Mr Qureshi said the international community supported Pakistan's stand that it was not involved in the Mumbai attacks.

“Now it has been admitted worldwide that Pakistan was above question with regard to the Mumbai terror incident,” the foreign minister said.

He reiterated that there was concrete evidence to prove New Delhi's hand in terror activities in Pakistan.

He said Mumbai attacks had been plotted by elements who wished to sabotage Pakistan-India relations.

“Economic progress is vital to counter extremism in the region,” he added.

The foreign minister urged international community to make India realise that there was no option other than talks to establish peace in the region.—APP
